00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Numbers Games Ryan Grotski, thank you

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: guys for being here. I love the Ask Me Anything

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: the segment of this podcast. It was the idea that

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton gave me and to incorporate in the podcast,

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: and it's really taken off so many things that I

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: do for work or just very isolated because I work

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: basically alone in my house alone and I'll send out

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: emails or I have a producer who listens to me,

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: but it's very one on one. So this is how

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I can connect with tens of thousands of people who

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: listen to every episode and it's I really appreciate it.

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: I think it makes the podcast what it is and

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: lets me know that you guys are interested in anything

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So and how I'm mentioned by the way

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: in what you guys say, and I want to build

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: a podcast episode around what you're talking about. Okay, So

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: if you want to part a future Ask Me Anythings

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: email me Ryan at Numbers Gamepodcast dot com. It's Ryan

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: at Numbers Plural Numbers gamepodcast dot com. This episode is

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: a whole ask Me Anything episode. I'm going to go

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: into a lot of your questions that I was very bad.

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I actually started getting email saying why haven't you answered

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: my question yet? So let's go through them. Let's get

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: through this episode and give you guys everything you wanted

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: to know. So, first of all, this question comes from Michael.

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: It says you do a great job on your podcast.

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Why does the Trump administration not publicize the backgrounds of

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: the illegal aliens they are deporting? There are hundreds of

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: vicious criminals they have arrested, but they do not know

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: their crimes, give details of their crimes. They should highlight

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: the suffering of the victims. Same with closing the border

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: or stopping the trafficking of women and children. How about

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: the stories of all those girls and women who are

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: raped as they travel across the border. I know some

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: are hoaxes, but some are real. Ice has been framed

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: as a moral issue, so the GOP should fight on

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: a moral terms. That's a great point about the moral terms.

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: But they do actually publicize the crimes. You can go

39
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: to DHS dot gov slash wow, and you can see

40
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: all the worst of the worst. You can see what

41
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: they've done their offenses. I know DHS will regularly tweet

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: out the criminals that they've arrested of the posts on

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: social media. So they do put them out there. It's

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: not that they don't, it's that you have to look

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: for them because the media doesn't really pick it up.

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: There was a video just last week in Minnesota where

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: a man was arrested carrying fifty pounds of drugs. I

48
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: think it was methamphetamines on him. Ice arrested him at

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: the mall. And you have all these dumb liberal women

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: with fufahs saying they're whistling around, sitting there and you know,

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: playing pretending that they're freedom fighters. But you can see

52
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst. They are easily and readily available.

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: The being stream media does not cover it and does

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: not pick it up. Okay, next question comes from TOMASO. Ryan.

55
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: My man, don't worry about the speech dialect stuff. This

56
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: is such a repeated email topic. Is my manner of

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: speaking in my dialect? But he says, at least you

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: ain't me what you're talking about and two yuts And

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: as an Italian transplant to Brooklyn in the seventies, I

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: learned a thing or two about being corrected once I

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: moved to La Remember the joke what caused the tower

62
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: piece to start leading. It got Itali sized and one

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: old Brooklyn. One is Italian Coke, British police German administrator

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: of the government, and hell is a British Coke German

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: at the police and Italians running the government. That's an

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: old joke now because actually Italians have a good government,

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: British have decent food in the Germans came run anything, Somas,

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: thank you for that email. There wasn't a question. It

69
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: was just about my accent. So I was born and

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: raised in Queens, New York. My mother's family is completely

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: Italian for multiple generations in America. She was raised in Brooklyn.

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: My grandpa was raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

73
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: I have managed to make sure my accent is manageable

74
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: to people and not too irritating. I have kicked like

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: terms like what you might call it out of my

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: regular vocabulary. And I actually noticed now when my friends

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: from Queens born and raised say it very frequently, my

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: family says it very frequently too. The funniest thing about

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: being brought up Italian how I was was that my

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: maternal grandmother, my mother's mother, her family was like on

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the first boat to America. Not only was she born

82
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: in America and her parents born in America, but I

83
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: think most of her grandparents were born in America. She

84
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: knew virtually no Italian at all, like literally at all,

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: and she she used to make up Italian expressions I

86
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: guess to fit in or with things that she heard

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: that she thought that, you know what they meant, and

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: she would put her own little Rosie list to sort

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: of spin on things. So, I mean, she at times

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: spoke Italian like the Swedish chip on them up. It

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: spoke Swedish like it was very that, but I thought

92
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: it was real growing up. So when I finally took

93
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: Italian in college, I confronted her. I was like, Grandma,

94
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: everything you've been telling me all this time is not real.

95
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: And she would say like things like, well, who are

96
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna believe me as some stranger you met at school,

97
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: referring to the professor, So thank you for your email.

98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: I think the dialect is manageable. It's never gonna be

99
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: fully gone. And I like people who have a little

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: bit of an accent from whatever they're from, as long

101
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: as not over the top. Ironically, you know, it's so

102
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: funny characters who on old TV shows who were from

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: a place did not carry those dialects. Like if you

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: think of back, like the Golden Girls, Rose was from

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: very much from Minnesota, didn't sound like someone from Minnesota

106
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: at all, never even pretended to have the accent. And

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: like Dorothy was from New York, but like didn't have

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the accent, but her mother, who was from Italy, had

109
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: a New York accent. Anyway, I don't know, thinking about

110
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: those things is really funny. Anyway, thank you for your email.

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Next question comes from Robert dis He says, I have

112
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: three questions. Don't worry about answering all of them. I'll

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: answer all of them. First question, polling shows that a

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: majority of Americans feel their personal financial situation has improved,

115
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: while other polls currently show economic confidence has dipped to

116
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: the lowest points since COVID. I understand that these are

117
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: two technically separate questions, but I feel like those should

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: generally move in the same direction. Is it just pull wording?

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: What am I missing? It's about anxiety, that's like the

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: really big thing. Honestly, there are a lot of indicators

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: in the economy that has gotten better. Right. Inflation is

122
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: obviously down, certain prices are actually declined, there is a

123
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 1: little bit of stability when it comes to layoffs. Right now,

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: hiring is not where it should be, But there's overall

125
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: anxiety and that's really where the fever pitches. People are

126
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: where if their kid can get a job, if they

127
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: can maintain a job, will AI take their job. There's

128
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: a lot of conversations around AI and outsourcing and Trump's

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: decision to do the tariffs the way that he did

130
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: really affected people's ability to think of the economy as stable.

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: People do not like uncertainty, The markets don't like uncertainty.

132
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: And what does Trump For all the good things that

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: he does, what's one of the bad things that he does?

134
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: He makes people very uncertain. And so the way that

135
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: these handled tariffs have not ruined the economy in any

136
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: shape or form, the media narrative would make you think otherwise.

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: And the way he has been less than tactical with

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: trying to release these tariffs has definitely brought out a

139
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety people. Second question, I listened to Scott

140
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Rasmussen's podcast, who said that Trump's face is just as

141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: motivated as liberals and progressives are, and it's traditional Republicans

142
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: and right leaning independents who are might likely stay home. However,

143
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: we also hear how challenge to the Trump coalitions that

144
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: the GOP traded high frequency voters with low frequency voters.

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I feel like the observation is true but contradictory. How

146
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: do you reconcile it? I don't know where Scott got

147
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: that information from. I'd have to really like listen to

148
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the whole episode and listen if he's saying talking about

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: midterms or just the specials. But I will say this,

150
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: and I respect Scott a lot of men, and many

151
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: times in green about Fox News when I was there.

152
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different Trump voters, right. There's the

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: three time Trump voter who goes to the rallies. There's

154
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the casual one who voted just twenty twenty four because

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: they hated Biden, or they had economic anxieties, or they

156
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: liked the vibes if they watched the Joe Rogan podcast.

157
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: There's independents who are Trump Biden Trump voters. There's people

158
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: like that that exist. I imagine he's talking about the

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: three time voter and they are probably highly motivated, but

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: it's not that is not a capture of the entire

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Trump base. Okay, last question, Robert, he I live in

162
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: Texas where new arrivals are the don't come, don't California

163
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: in my Texas. Same for New Yorker's moving to Flora. However,

164
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if the reason part of the partially that

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Texas has to consistently read while California has trend to

166
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: even bluer, is the majority of people even California were

167
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Republican voters. I want to say, I've read some of

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: about the twenty eighteen center race. Beto O'Rourke won a

169
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: majority of people born in Texas, but CRUs one of

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: a majority of non Texas born voters. Okay, this is

171
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Robert for bringing up this. This

172
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: is something that triggers me on a regular basis whenever

173
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: it's brought up to me. No, and and I really

174
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: actually do appreciate you because I do know exactly what

175
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about. And this has driven me nuts since

176
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: it was published, you know, six years ago or eight

177
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: years ago, because I'm very healthy mentally that this would

178
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: bother me for eight years, but it does. This was

179
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: an exit poll that was done by CNN in the

180
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen election. It was actually missed. You know miss

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: written up. They said Georgian side of Texas. But what

182
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: they did was they looked at the Texas the voting

183
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: block in their exit polls, and they said that a

184
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: majority of people who voted in Texas was born in

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: Texas had voted for Beto O'Rourke. Remember, exit polls have

186
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: a lot of flaws in them. They don't go out,

187
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: so the rural areas been often most often. They seem

188
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: to sometimes over sample certain demographics. This happened also in

189
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Florida where they said one in five black

190
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: women voted for Ronda Santas. That is not true. That

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: was never true. There were a whole op eds written

192
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: about this about like this proves black people love school choice.

193
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: It literally wasn't true. A lot of exit polls get

194
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: it wrong quite often, so I don't think this was

195
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: actually accurate, this exit pole that seen and had. Secondly,

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: if you look a map at the Texas election from

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,239
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, look at places that have a higher percentage

198
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: of native born Texans in them, West Texas, East Texas,

199
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: and you see huge numbers for for Ted Cruz, I

200
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: doubt and where you see a lot of the highest

201
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: percentage transplants. You see them swinging towards Beto O'Rourke. I

202
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: don't believe it on its face, but that The one

203
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: interesting that that CNN Say did was they also broke

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: it down with have you were you born in Texas,

205
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: which they said Beta won those people fifty one forty eight.

206
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: I kind of don't believe it. Whatever, it was my

207
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: three point margin. Though. Then they asked have you lived

208
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: in Texas for more than ten years? And among people

209
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: who lived in Texas for more than ten years, Cruise

210
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: won them by thirty points, which the only way then

211
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: you get to the number that he actually won by

212
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: is that the recent migrants from California were very liberal.

213
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: So it's not that the newest flock are all Republican leaving.

214
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: It's also the people who left ten years ago were Republican.

215
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: That's probably more accurate. I think that's probably the most

216
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: accurate part of the study. But once again it's changed

217
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot because that was published after COVID. COVID really

218
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: changed everything in twenty twenty four. The New York Times

219
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: that are really fantastic job breaking down how people who

220
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: move vote and where they end up. And obviously Republican voters,

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: no matter what the state is, tend to move to

222
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Republican areas. Democratic voters tend to move to democratic areas.

223
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: They found that people who moved to Texas since COVID

224
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: are much more Republican than native Texans. Texas voted R

225
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: plus five in the twenty twenty election. The people who

226
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: move to Texas during COVID are they vote on average

227
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: R plus twenty, according to the New York Times study

228
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: on this. So anyway, that's a great. But that's great

229
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: that you've brought this up, because it's something that lives

230
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: in my head kind of rent free. Lastly, you write it. Lastly,

231
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: I love your gossip segments. Whenever you're on Megan McCain

232
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: show and you shout allegedly every five seconds, I die

233
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: of laughter. Thank you. Yeah, I know a lot of gossip,

234
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: and I hear a lot of gossip, and I have

235
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: to one be very prudish in not sharing every breathing

236
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I hear because there's a lot of fake stuff out there,

237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: and I have to sit there in and be my

238
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: own editor and say that sounds really like fake whatever.

239
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: But I hear a lot of stuff. So when I'm

240
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: feeling it, and I'm talking to Megan, who's a friend

241
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: of mine. She's a sweetheart. I kind of get a

242
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: little loose and I'm like, you know what I'll say.

243
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll drop a few hints. But let me say allegedly

244
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: to protect myself, but that's true. I don't ask for

245
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: the gossip. By the way, they come to me. The

246
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: streets talk, and they talk to me. I don't ask

247
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: for them. Anyway. We'll be back with more Ask Me

248
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: Anything coming up next. Welcome back to the Asking Me

249
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Anything episode. This email comes from our Shannon. She writes,

250
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: can you please explain the negatives of the Save Act?

251
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Is it true I think by R Shannon may be

252
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: a woman. I'm just guessing. R. Shannon, whoever you are,

253
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: you may not be a woman. Shannon could be a

254
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: last name. Please explain the negatives of the Save Act.

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: Is it true that if you change your last name

256
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: you can't pass? Is it true that if you can't

257
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: find your birth certificate you can't vote? Obviously the DMB

258
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: thing is asinine and completely racist. And honestly, if someone

259
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: is too lazy to get an ID, they should should

260
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: they be able to vote? Question mark? Okay, So for

261
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: those who don't know, The Save Act is a bill

262
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: that's quickly making its way through Congress that require proof

263
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: of citizen to proof of citizenship to register to vote.

264
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: It also says a driver's license no longer counts as

265
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: proof of citizenship. Why nineteen states handout driver's licenses to

266
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. So among the most notable parts of the

267
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: bill is the requirement to prove citizenship before registering to vote.

268
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: Documents accepted include birth certificates, US passports, and certain versions

269
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: of the real ID that indicate citizenship. Detractors of the

270
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Save Act. This is from MPR. Detractors say backs say

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: that millions people will be ineligible to vote because they

272
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: either don't have a passport, naturalization paper's real ID, or

273
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: their birth certificate. So here's what the So, here's what

274
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: the law actually says. I actually pulled up the law.

275
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: If it sounds a little legal ease, and you're like, Ryan,

276
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: did you have a stroke, I didn't. I'm reading from

277
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: a law, so it sounds like an official government document.

278
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: The law says this when it comes to people who

279
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: cannot find documents or change their name because of marriage

280
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. It says the process for those without documentary proof.

281
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: In general, subject to any relevant guidance adopted by the

282
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Election Assistance Commission, each state shall establish a process under

283
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: which an applicant who cannot provide documentary proof of US

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: citizenship under paragraph that's real idea in the passport under

285
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: paragraph one may, if applicants signs an attestation under penalty

286
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: of perjury that the applicant is a US citizen and

287
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: eligible to voting elections for federal office, submit such an

288
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: other evidence to the appropriate state or local office demonstrating

289
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: that their applicant is a citizen of the US. Such

290
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: officials shall make a determination as to whether the applicant

291
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: is officially established US citizenship for the purpose of registering

292
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: to vote in an election for federal office in the state.

293
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: In other words, a woman who has changed her name

294
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: because she got married, if she has to go registered

295
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: to vote, the states have and the local governments have

296
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: wiggle room to sit there and show that this is obviously.

297
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: If Mary Todd was Mary Smith and she brings her

298
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: driver's license that has her old name in it or

299
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: her new name in it, and her and her marriage

300
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: certificate and says, look, I am this person. I changed

301
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: my name, because I got married. The local government office

302
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: would sit there and say, clearly this is the same person,

303
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: she just got married, and they would allow her to

304
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: register to vote. The states are in charge of creating

305
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: these parameters to sit there and say, Okay, this is

306
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: how you can prove. Maybe you don't have your per certificate,

307
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of other stuff. The left is

308
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: saying that this is a mass disenfranchisement of voters because

309
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: they got married. But I mean they're allowing other documents.

310
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: The idea that this is saying, no, you only have

311
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: to have these certain documents. It's very rigid, is not true.

312
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: States and have a lot of wiggle room to figure

313
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: out if someone's actually a citizen. Honestly, if you only

314
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: if you don't have any form of ID, if the

315
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: only you have as a profile and TikTok, maybe you

316
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't be voting. There's a reason that they are making

317
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: this is just because the states have gotten so so

318
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: they've lost control of the whole driver's license system handing

319
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: out to illegal aliens the way that they have, So

320
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: that's why they're going this way. But no, it does

321
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: not disenfranchise people like they're saying. States and localities will

322
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: have the ability to figure out other methods if no

323
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: one has id Here's the thing I want you to

324
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: think about from the narrative, from the media's perspective, if

325
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Republicans were so determined to disenfranchise groups from voting, why

326
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: would it be married women who vote majority Republican. The

327
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: answer to that question is obviously that that's not the case.

328
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of anxiety over nothing. Next

329
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: question comes from Tristan. He writes, what do you think

330
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: of the UAE and how it does immigration? Well, how

331
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: the UAID does immigration? Essentially, a majority of the population

332
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: is more and born. However, basically now will ever obtain

333
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: citizenship so long as they live and get zero government benefits.

334
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: Would you support some version of this in the US?

335
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: Basically that's basically the whole question, So thank you for

336
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the question. I don't think that immigration system is compatible

337
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: with the United States. So I don't sit there and

338
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: say like, oh, wouldn't be great if we did X,

339
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Y or Z. I kind of try to live in

340
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: the world as it is, not as I would like

341
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: it to be all the time. First of all, we

342
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: have birthright citizenships, so their kids would get citizenship. They

343
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: don't have that. Secondly, they don't have a multi billion

344
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: dollar apparatus of immigration lawyers and a plethora of progressive

345
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: judges who will say that this is horrible, that they

346
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: should get citizenship under any circumstances. And lastly, I think

347
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: that American citizens expect more. I expect more of our

348
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: country than to have it built on slave labor like

349
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: the UAE does. It's I know people have worked in

350
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: the UAE. The conditions are not great for foreign workers.

351
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: They truly treat them as human I would not want

352
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: that for foreigners who work in America. And lastly, you

353
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: know we are going to have robots take a lot

354
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: of these jobs the next few years. We need to

355
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: look into the future. What is the point what happens

356
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: when we have twenty five or thirty million people in

357
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: this country who will never be able to find work.

358
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Why would we import more of those people? Like we

359
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: have this huge problem coming on the pipeline of American

360
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: citizens not being able to find work, why are you

361
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: adding foreigners to it? It makes no sense. We need

362
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: an immigration moratorium like yesterday. This is nuts And the

363
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: only reason we don't get this is because until they

364
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: replace the workers or robots. The corporations are demanding we

365
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: keep the cheap labor train and then we're just gonna

366
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: be dumped with all these you know, workers will have

367
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: to take care of one day who won't be able

368
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: to find jobs. And because the Democrats are just insistent

369
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: on this diversity train that all immigration is always good

370
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: moron on Morning Joe Today was like exphyxiating screaming about

371
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: how the benefits of immigration telling half truths and lies

372
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: and narratives because like they it's it's it's like part

373
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: of their DNA, like you're draining blood from their body.

374
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: If they don't have mass mass immigration to vote for

375
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: them and to change the democraphy of the country, it's

376
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: like they can't function. It's the only holding them together.

377
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: It's bizarre, interesting idea. Tristan I fundamentally rejective. Next question

378
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: comes from Meghan, who points out that she's a fellow millennial.

379
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Megan the millennial. Meghan, as a millennial like yourself, I

380
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: have to ask you a question, did they make you

381
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: when you were in school play Oregon Trail? Because I

382
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: have never met a millennial who did not play Oregon

383
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Trail in school and I genuinely wonder why this an

384
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: entire generation of millions of American children were going to

385
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: get something out of a video game about moving from

386
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: Saint Louis to Oregon inf like eighteen fifty and trying

387
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: to avoid several various diseases like scurvy or dysentery that

388
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: we don't deal with on a daily basis. It is

389
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: something that I thought about for years since it came

390
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: to pass fro. I'm like, what was was the goal here?

391
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: How was the generation going to that was going to

392
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: be having, you know, a computer in every room, going

393
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: to learn a lot from a game about dysentery. It

394
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: just boggles the mind. I get why we play Carmen

395
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: san Diego. I learned geography, but Oregon Trail is some

396
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of experiment that never I want that. I want

397
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: the Netflix show on that. Like, how did Oregon Trail

398
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: get into every single school in the entire country? That's

399
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: the question that sits there and boggles my mind. All Right,

400
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: she says, I love your show. It breaks everything down,

401
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: makes me feel super knowledge about elections. I currently live

402
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: up in Alaska. We use rank choice voting. It is

403
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the Alaskan voting system. Is so stupid. I'm wondering what

404
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: the numbers say about the upcoming race between Senator Danzell

405
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: and former Representative Mary Patola. It feels like ranked choice

406
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: voting complicates everything. So I was wondering if you think

407
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: dan Selva maintains his seat or if enough Independence and

408
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: Democrats will vote for Mary. Great question, Okay, Megan, this

409
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: is a very important election. This is a ranked choice

410
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: voting system that was created to save Lisa Marikowski from

411
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: being ousted in a primary. Basically, the way it works,

412
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, is there's a jungle primary.

413
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: Everybody runs, all the parties running a primary together, the

414
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: top four go to a general where then it becomes

415
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: ranked choice voting. Right if you don't get number one,

416
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: then the votes are sorted out as it gets closer

417
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: and closer towards the finish line, and whoever gets fifty

418
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: percent wins. So, as far as I have seen thus far,

419
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 1: there are five candidates running, two Democrats, one Republican, a

420
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Green Party, and an independent. That means that most of

421
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: the people who appear on the primary will be on

422
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: the general election. In twenty twenty, Sullivan won the election

423
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: by thirteen points with fifty four percent winning on the

424
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: first ballt Basically, he didn't even need anything else. He

425
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: just won the first time round. He will likely need

426
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: to do that again because most of the other people

427
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: running in the top four will be of the left,

428
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: but Patola will pick up most of those votes as

429
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: the as the numbers wither because another a Democrat or

430
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: a Green Party person's voting for the Democrat. Right, that's

431
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: just kind of the dynamics. So if we go on

432
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: election night and the first ballot comes out and Dan

433
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Slovan is forty nine point eighty eight, he's very likely

434
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: going to win. If he is forty five, it's very

435
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: unlikely he's going to win. That's my opinion. And then

436
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: second opinion is the polls have come out and Patola

437
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: has been leading by two points since January. Polling in

438
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: Alaska is not great. It's one of very hard state

439
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: to poll, especially because it's so rural. In twenty twenty,

440
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: Syllivan never pulled over forty eight percent in most every

441
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: poll except for The New York Times Santa pol having

442
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: either losing or winning by three to four points. He

443
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: won by thirteen. It was very very off. I'm not

444
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: going to trust ulsters right now, especially in that state.

445
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: And my other opinion is voters just rejected Batola last year,

446
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: like she or two years ago. She ran for a

447
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: House seat, she had fourteen million dollars, a lot of money,

448
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: and voters in Alaska picked someone else for the job.

449
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: So why would they pick her again right after kicking

450
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: her out? Maybe they will. It's happened obviously, John Ausa.

451
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: But that was one small House seat. This is a

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: state wide seat. It's possible, but certainly in the race

453
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: is still tilt the Republican. Okay, we will be back

454
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: with Ask Me Anything. All right, We're back with the

455
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: last segment of Ask Me Anything episode. This question comes

456
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: from Jeff. He writes, high, I live in Scottsdale, Arizona.

457
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: I might be called a swing voter in the Arizona

458
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Republican primary. I vote for the Republican nominee for governor,

459
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: but I'm undecided in a very interesting three way race.

460
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: How we'll go. There's Karen Tayler Robeson, endorsed by Trump,

461
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: and she's a Chamber of Commerce Republican, Andy Biggs, a

462
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: House Freedom Caucus member, and David Schweiker, a libertarianly in Congressman.

463
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: So since writing this email to me, Karen Taylor Robson

464
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: has decided to drop out of the race, which pretty

465
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: much came as a shock to me. I mean, I've

466
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: met her before. She's a very nice person. She's richer

467
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: than God. She had enough money to fund this race

468
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: all the way to the end, but her internals must

469
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: have been terrible because the public polling was awful, and

470
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: I guess she just didn't want to spend any more money.

471
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: According to the Emerson poll, Biggs is running away with

472
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: this primary. He's at fifty percent, Robinson was at seventeen,

473
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: and Schweiker was at eight. This is, also, by the way,

474
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: the first election in Arizona history where the governor can

475
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: I will also have a lieutenant governor on the ticket.

476
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: I have heard from friends in Arizona that the Biggs

477
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: camp has been allegedly talking about asking Erica Kirk to

478
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: run with him. Now, I don't know if this means

479
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: that she was actually asked, or they are just internally

480
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: talking about it, or things were being whispered about, but

481
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: it got back to me, so I've heard that this

482
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: is a conversation that's happened. I don't know if there's

483
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: an official offer or she's rejected. I don't think she

484
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: would accept it, but I've heard that that has been

485
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: whispered about among the Biggs camp. Who knows evidents of

486
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: being true or not. Anyway, as far as this selection goes,

487
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: it looks like Biggs has got it in the bag.

488
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: And then in the general election, Hobbs says, a slight

489
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: lead in the polling, but Republicans can still win because

490
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: Arizona's trend so far to the right since moving to

491
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: the left in twenty twenty. Okay, next question comes from Holly.

492
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: She writes, Ryan, I am curious too about the real

493
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm curious with what you think about the recent murder

494
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: rate stats that came out. I don't want to take

495
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: anything away from Trump's policies or law enforcement. And it

496
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: makes sense that when you remove criminals, either deporting them

497
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: or using the National Guard in cities like DC, that

498
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: the murder rate will come down. But how much of

499
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: the reduction is because of better medical care as opposed

500
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: to fewer crimes being committed? Would a comparison of attempted

501
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: murders or thefts be a better standard? That is a great,

502
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: great point there that is very very smart, Holly. So

503
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: the correct thing is that they are both going down. Right.

504
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: They do track shootings and attempted assaults and actual homicides.

505
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: Shootings and gun assaults are down by twenty two percent

506
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: and homicides are down by twenty one percent. Homicides are

507
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: down though in part because there's medical better medical care.

508
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: That has been true, by the way four decades. Improvement

509
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: in medical care has reduced homicide deaths even while gun

510
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: shootings were very, very high, and in some places they're

511
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: still high. I mean, they're down, but there's no reason

512
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: why a city like Saint Louis or New Orleans should

513
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: be the way that it is. I mean, it is

514
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: comically corrupt and how it's done it's policing anyway, The

515
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: numbers actually fell below twenty fourteen numbers, which is considered

516
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: the safest urine record in modern history. Since the rise

517
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: of BLM. There are only two categories of crime that

518
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: the government tracks the serious crimes that actually went up

519
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: nationwide in twenty twenty five. Those were drug crimes and

520
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: sexual assaults. But aside from that, crime nationwide has gone

521
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: down and pretty substantially. Okay, last question of the podcast

522
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: on the Ask Me Anything episode comes from Chris from Cincinnati.

523
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: He said, I listened to your Friday podcast on the

524
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: Texas special election on my morning drive. Well done, Thank you.

525
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: I really enjoy that you weave your Catholic faith journey

526
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: into the podcast, as it helps listeners engage with your

527
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: values and how it frames your interpretation of data. One

528
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: issue that's been weighing on me heavily as a practicing

529
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: Catholic as immigration policy. I don't want to put you

530
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: in an awkward spot. My whole life is an awkward spot.

531
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: That's actually going to be either my autobiography or put

532
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: what you put on the coffin on the tombstone. I

533
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: lived in an awkward spot, so you're not putting me

534
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: awkward spot. I don't want to put you in awkward

535
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: spot by criticizing the Pope, so I will ask you

536
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: instead of look at the stunning amount of money that

537
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: Catholic Charities has taken as the US government's refugee resettlement

538
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: program for the past few years. I live in suburban Cincinnati.

539
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, Department of AHA just contributed seven hundred

540
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand and the State Department one hundred thousand,

541
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: but by twenty twenty four that number dropped to two

542
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: point five million and nine hundred thousand. At what point

543
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: does the institution take on so much money it becomes

544
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: intellectually captured and dependent upon washingt DC bureaucrats rather than

545
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: parishioners and local dioceses. I don't mean to send cynecal

546
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: but we are criticizing Ice because we are called to

547
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: be compassionate criticism, sorry, Christians. Or are we criticizing Ice

548
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: because it's bad for business? Wow, that's a great question.

549
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: So there are multiple things. One, Catholic Charities. A majority

550
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: of Catholic Charities money from the latest numbers I've seen,

551
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: which was during the Biden administration, a majority comes from

552
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: the government. So if you never gave another dollar to

553
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Catholic Charities, if not just you, but at anybody, it

554
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And it didn't matter under the Biden administration

555
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: because they were making money hand over foot being refugee resettlement.

556
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: I went to the border and Catholic Charities was there,

557
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and I mean I saw migrants from Indonesia, from India

558
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: from you know, Europe, and every time I ask the

559
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Catholic Charities person, where are they coming from. He says, Oh,

560
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: they're fleeing the cartel. I'm like, this guy's Ukrainian. What cartel?

561
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: He's like that. And he would always say the cartels

562
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: in India, the cartels in you know, in Bangladesh, the

563
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: cartels in Japan. Like everything was always a lie. Like

564
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: it was clearly a lie. But this man wasn't. It

565
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: was a laved person. It wasn't a priest. I understand

566
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: the pope and the Catholic teaching from the bishops, especially

567
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: around why they support open borders in general. It's something

568
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: that I understand, but I do not agree with. And

569
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I will say this, and this is and I don't

570
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: really care if I offend anybody as a Catholic, as

571
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: a practicing Catholic who goes to church on Sunday and

572
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: puts money in the in my church basket every single Sunday,

573
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: and very much believes in the institution and the fabric

574
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: of Catholic education in the Catholic Church, and what Catholics

575
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: have done and to help this country. The bishops are spineless.

576
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: The bishops are one hundred percent spilensts. The pope, especially

577
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: the last Pope, absolutely spileless. They love to sit there

578
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: and play foot seat with the media and get nice coverage. Listen,

579
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: we can understand how why the Catholic Church has gotten

580
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a ton of bad press over the last two decades.

581
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to spell it out. We don't have

582
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: to go into it. You know what I'm talking about. However,

583
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: there are things that Catholics do that are very popular,

584
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: that are very you know, the Catholic schools educated the

585
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: best and the brightest in this country. Catholic charities, like

586
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, I've done so much, not the institution, but

587
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: the Catholic charities, small Sea charities has done so much

588
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: to feed the poor and clothe them. And during the

589
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: AIDS crisis and what they did for AIDS patients. I mean,

590
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: the Catholic hospitals have done so much. I don't have

591
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: to read the whole list of things that we have

592
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: done as an institution, not mean necessarily, but every Catholic

593
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: who's out there and made sure that the church had

594
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: money to do those things did for them. They are

595
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: struggling with decades of bad publicity, and so they do

596
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: anything to be popular to a liberal consensus. And also

597
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: the church is broke, The church is bankrupt, functionally. So

598
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: the Pope is very much understanding and Rome is very

599
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: much understanding that there are a lot of Catholics of

600
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi's age range who are very

601
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: liberal and are preparing their wills, and so they want

602
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: to be part of it. Like they're not playing dumb.

603
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: They understand then the seventies and in nineteen the people

604
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: who are seventy and eighty and ninety plus are more

605
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: liberal if they are church going than twenty year olds

606
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: who are church going who are much more conservative than

607
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: prees are much more conservative. They understand that when it

608
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: comes to immigration, I take cues from and I understand

609
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: what the background of the church is that you know,

610
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: we are a global or global church where a global nation,

611
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: and we should embrace whatever. Okay, that's all good, great

612
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: and fine. That is not the world we live in.

613
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: There is a man if you're not Catholic, or you

614
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: don't even or you may be, but you're you're you're

615
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: definitely on a different level of Cathosism, then maybe I am.

616
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: As far as participation goes. There's a cardinal named Cardinal Sarah.

617
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: He's from Africa. Wonderful, very very very smart man who

618
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: has beautiful writings on a lot of things, including immigration,

619
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: and in twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, Cardinal Sarah wrote

620
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: he wrote this during the entire mass wave of refugees

621
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: moving to Europe. He said this, if the West continues

622
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: in this fatal way, that there is a great risk

623
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: that due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, disappear,

624
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: invaded by foreigners, just as Rome was invaded by barbarians.

625
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: It's better to help people flourish in their culture than

626
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: to encourage them to come to Europe in full decadence.

627
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: It is a false use of the word of God

628
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: to promote migration. If Europe disappears, and with it the

629
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: priceless value of the old Continent, Islam will invade the

630
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: world and we will completely change our culture and moral vision.

631
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: The ideology of liberal individualism promotes a mixing that is

632
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: designed to erode the natural borders of homelands and cultures

633
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and leads to a post national and one dimensional world

634
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: where the only thing that matters is consumption and production.

635
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: I fully believe that that is a lot of my

636
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: moral compass as to why to reject immigration. There's a

637
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of economic things. There's a lot of you know,

638
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: identity issues, there's a lot of electoral issues. At the

639
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, If we are a nation that

640
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: has no identity, if Europe is a continent with no identity,

641
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: if we are just as the last immigrant who walked

642
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: through our doors, we cease as a people and they

643
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: are robbed of their national identity and culture. Doesn't mean

644
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: we can have any immigrants. That means people can never move.

645
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: But the culture and the identity that a nation is

646
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: built around is unique and is special. And as much

647
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: as we as Americans embraced the idea of rugged individualism,

648
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: we are extremely unique as a people. As a block.

649
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: There is no one else like an American. There is

650
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: no one else. I actually it's very funny. I was

651
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: took part in a poll in the UK, a panel

652
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: in the UK of Americans feelings towards Britz And they

653
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: went down the list and they asked every American where

654
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: would you move if you could move anywhere? And when

655
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: they came to me, I said, I would always live

656
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: in America. There is no place like this on the planet,

657
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: nowhere even closed. I would vacation in Italy. I would

658
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: go on a cruise somewhere. I would, you know, I

659
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: would do that, that's great. Where would I live? No,

660
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: I would I have them all back in Argentina. But

661
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: where would I live. I would only live in America.

662
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: This is my people and this is my place, and

663
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: we are unique and we are special. And I don't

664
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: want to be some other people in some other place.

665
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: And maybe I am bigoted or whatever or for saying that,

666
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: but it is how I feel. And I am a voter,

667
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: and I elect a government to reflect my interests, and

668
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: so do you, and I believe in and when it

669
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: comes to faith, I believe, in the words of Carl

670
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Sarah that this is very important because we are robbing

671
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: in the name of rug individualism and endless capitalism where

672
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters is growth for the sake

673
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: of growth. It's the ideology of libertarians and cancer cells.

674
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: We are robbing culture and identity and that it's becoming

675
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: a very, very valued thing. That is my point. Thank

676
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: you for that question, Thank you for all these questions.

677
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,960

00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,480
